ATFORN Patented June 10, 1941 Arthur W. Deuble, Canton, ClimaleneCompany, Ca

tion of Ohio Ohio, assignor to The nton, Ohio, a corpora- ApplicationJune 7, 1939, Serial No. 277,855 (01. 22947) 1 Claim.

This invention relates, as indicated, to cartons and the like, and

or granular material.

It is an object of this invention to provide a carton which will presenta larger visible area for exhibiting a a carton having cornersadvantageously shaped for pouring.

A further object is to a design upon its front which an aperture isdisplay the contents of the container.

Other objects of this invention will appear as the description proceeds.

To the accomplishment of the foregoing and provide a carton having panelin conjunction with provided in said panel to may be used.

In said annexed drawing:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one approved form of containerconstructed in accordance with this invention;

Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the container of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view taken along the line 33 onFig. 1;

Fig. 4 is a transverse cross-sectional view taken Referring now moreparticularly to the above described drawing and especially Fig. 5, theblank from which the carton of this invention is The blank lap I, endflaps 6, 1, 8 trapezoids, attached to l, and end flaps M, II, said majorbody further comprises a glue and 9, in the form of said side panels 3and I3 and H attached to running panels I and 2, said last-named endflaps being in the shape of similar oblique parallelograms or rhomboids.

When this blank is folded to form the carton illustrated in Fig. 1, itwill be seen that said carton, as seen from the end,

flaps in position as illustrated in Fig. 4. The shape of the entirecarton as viewed in elevation is that of an oblique parallelepiped.

It will be noted, in addition, that this shape permits one viewing thefront panel of said carton to also see one side panel, as panel 4 inFig. 1. As a result, when a continuous design l5 exa more impressivedisplay.

The aforesaid design may advantageously be of a pictorial character andinclude a representation of a. container, such as the spoon ing inconjunction suitable container such as a saucer, bowl, or the like, soas to illustrate said contents in use.

It will further be noted that the aperture or bus be seen that a cartonhas been provided which is very effective as a display medium and whichalso affords certain advantages to a purchaser, since the latter maynote the appearance of the contents otherwise hidden from view and isenabled to discharge such contents with ease and without waste.

It will be understood that other materials than cardboard, but of alikenature, may be employed and the elaims'are intended to include all suchmaterials. It is also clear that one or more of the end flaps may bemodified but a package of an oblique parallelogram crosssectionobtained. This invention is intended to include all such variations andmodifications.

Other modes of applying the principle of my invention may be employedinstead of the one explained, change being made as regards the structureherein disclosed, provided the means stated by the following claim orthe equivalent of such stated means be employed.

I, therefore, particularly point out and distinctly claim as myinvention:

A one piece blank adapted to produce a carton having the configurationof an oblique parallelopiped, said blank comprising a side panel, afront panel, another side panel and a back panel, a lateral glue flapintegral with one of said panels, said front and back panels beingmaterially larger than said side panels, a flap integral with each endof each of said panels, the flaps attached to said side panels beingsimilar and trapezoidal in shape and the flaps attached to said frontand rear panels being similar and having the shape solely of a rhomboid,said last named flaps the trapezoidal flaps being so shaped that, uponfolding the blank to form a carton, one edge of one trapezoidal flap. atone end of the carton, will lie along and contact the inner face of thefront panel and one edge of the other trapezoidal flap will lie alongand contact the inner face of the back panel.
